There is a lot of controversy associated with tonight’s NBA Playoff game between the Nets and 76ers.
In the first half, Philadelphia star Joel Embiid appeared to kick Nic Claxton in the groin. Officials reviewed the play and called a flagrant 1 foul on Embiid.
In the second half, 76ers guard James Harden made contact with a defender while trying to drive past him. Harden was quickly ejected.
